Chapter 16: Eudora Wants to Bear Children for Parker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Eve introduced herself, she introduced her to every female present. Eventually, she pointed to the female who’d spoken to Parker the day before and said, “That’s Eudora.”
“Hello, everyone.” Bai Qingqing was somewhat shy, tugging at the cowhide that covered the important areas of her body as she looked at Eudora, whom Eve had introduced last.
Eudora was guarded by six beasts. She looked over upon hearing someone call out her name, only to see an unfamiliar female with skin as white as snow. Although the female was skinny, she had a very well-endowed chest. Her figure was so perfect that it made the usually confident Eudora jealous.
Eudora felt relieved after seeing Bai Qingqing’s freckled face. She didn’t have any spots on her face.
Recognizing Bai Qingqing as the female Parker had brought back the day before, Eudora rolled her eyes and walked over to Parker, who was by Bai Qingqing’s side. “Parker, did you cover her face with mud because you didn’t want us to see how ugly she is?”
Parker pursed his lips. He did this whenever he felt fed up.
“Yeah.” Parker pushed his unhappiness aside and replied. He’d wanted everyone to think his female was ugly, to begin with. However, seeing Eudora mock Bai Qingqing made him irritated to no end.
Bai Qingqing, on the other end, didn’t mind the sarcastic remarks. She wasn’t truly ugly, anyway. Being criticized didn’t affect her at all.
“Hello, Eudora,” Bai Qingqing said with a small smile. Despite Eudora’s biting words, she didn’t make a huge fuss about it as she wanted to integrate into the tribe as soon as possible.
Eudora didn’t care about Bai Qingqing’s attitude. She stared fixedly at Parker with eyes so small that she looked like she was half-asleep and said softly, “Parker, I’m in heat right now. If you want to, I’ll copulate with you and bear you a litter of leopard cubs.”
Eudora said such shameless words with her chin proudly raised as if she was a queen standing high above the masses. None of the females had a look of disdain on their faces. Instead, all of them waited expectantly for Parker’s reaction.
Females only went into heat once a year, so it was extremely precious to them. If they missed the opportunity this year, they’d have to wait for a year for the chance to become pregnant.
“Pft!” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but scoff. She looked towards the males standing behind Eudora. As expected, the leopards and tigers were seeing red and giving Parker death stares, seemingly wishing they could eat him.
Bai Qingqing once again pitied the males in this world. Having to share their wives was already bad enough. They even had to see how much their wives liked them before they could have children. Poor things!
Parker glared at Bai Qingqing, then calmly replied to Eudora, “Thank you for your affection, but I already have a mate. And congratulations, you’ll be able to have cubs this year.”
Humiliated at being rejected again, Eudora pointed at Bai Qingqing and sneered. “What’s so good about her? Look at her—she doesn’t have a single spousal mark on her. She’s an unwanted female! For all we know, she might not even be able to go into heat because of how malnourished she is.”
Parker immediately retorted, “Qingqing’s still young. What’s so weird about her not having any marks?”
Eudora’s right, Bai Qingqing thought. She hadn’t heard of humans going into heat before.
After receiving yet another insult, despite not feeling angry, Bai Qingqing couldn’t simply stand there and let herself be bullied any longer.
“Eudora, I’m not as good as you, and I don’t have the courage to offer to bear someone else’s children in front of my mates.”
Bai Qingqing shrugged and continued in a resigned voice, “Maybe you’ll all think I’m a freak, but I really feel indignant for your mates. They love you wholeheartedly, and yet they get even less in return compared to an outsider who didn’t give you anything. If I were them, I’d rather remain single for the rest of my life.”
Everyone went silent at Bai Qingqing’s words.
